| + | You then need to describe what you want to search. JSesh is quite powerful here. You | ||
| + | can both search for hieroglyphic and non-hieroglyphic text. | ||
| + | |||
| + | By default, the search will look for corresponding //sequences// of signs, regardless of their layout. If | ||
| + | you want to search for a specific layout, check the "Whole Quadrant Match" box. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Searching for Hieroglyphic Text ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Searching for hieroglyphic text can be quite simple. Type the text you are looking for in the search field (see picture below), and press the "search" button. | ||

| + | for a specific layout, check the **Whole Quadrant Match** box. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Advanced Search for Hieroglyphic Text ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | You will notice a number buttons below the text field. They allow you to include more variability in the text you are looking for. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== The "*" wildcard ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The "*" button allows you to search for sequences of non-strictly consecutive signs. For instance, ๐น"*"๐ will search for sequences of signs containing ๐น, then possibly a number of other signs, then ๐. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | {{ :doc:en:starsearch.png?nolink |Search with the "star" wildcard}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | As the search will find any corresponding sequence of signs, //regardless of its length//, you may end up with unexpected results - matching a ๐น in the second line of your text, and a ๐ in the fiftieth. To avoid this, you can | ||
| + | limit the length of the expected result. For instance, if you want to allow at most two signs between | ||
| + | ๐น and ๐, you may limit the result length to four signs, as is done in the example above, using the **Max match length** field. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | If **Max match length** is 0, it will be understood as "no limit". | ||
| + | |||
| + | **note:** the "*" wildcard has nothing to do with the //Manuel de Codage// code "*" for grouping signs. | ||
